Methods and Related Devices for Transmitting Identification Information of User Equipment During Random Access Procedure

1. A method performed by a User Equipment (UE) for wireless communications, the method comprising: receiving a Random Access Response (RAR) comprising an Uplink (UL) grant from a base station, the UL grant indicating a first resource allocation; transmitting a first part of a UE Identity (ID) to the base station based on the first resource allocation; deriving a second resource allocation from the first resource allocation by shifting the first resource allocation in a time domain; transmitting a second part of the UE ID to the base station based on the second resource allocation; and receiving a contention resolution message from the base station, wherein the contention resolution message comprises a UE contention resolution ID determined based on the first part of the UE ID and the second part of the UE ID.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first part of the UE ID is transmitted in a first Common Control Channel (CCCH) Service Data Unit (SDU), and the second part of the UE ID is transmitted in a second CCCH SDU.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the UE contention resolution ID comprises the first CCCH SDU and the second CCCH SDU.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the UE contention resolution ID is represented by a partial UE ID that consists of a portion of the first CCCH SDU and a portion of the second CCCH SDU.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the UE contention resolution ID is represented by the first CCCH SDU.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: receiving a Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) from the base station; wherein the MAC CE comprises a bit field configured to indicate to the UE to transmit the second part of the UE ID.

7. A User Equipment (UE) comprising: one or more non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon; at least one processor coupled to the one or more non-transitory computer-readable media, and configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to: receive a Random Access Response (RAR) comprising an Uplink (UL) grant from a base station, the UL grant indicating a first resource allocation; transmit a first part of a UE Identity (ID) to the base station based on the first resource allocation; derive a second resource allocation from the first resource allocation by shifting the first resource allocation in a time domain; transmit a second part of the UE ID to the base station based on the second resource allocation; and receive a contention resolution message from the base station, wherein the contention resolution message comprises a UE contention resolution ID determined based on the first part of the UE ID and the second part of the UE ID.

8. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the first part of the UE ID is transmitted in a first Common Control Channel (CCCH) Service Data Unit (SDU), and the second part of the UE ID is transmitted in a second CCCH SDU.

9. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the UE contention resolution ID comprises the first CCCH SDU and the second CCCH SDU.

10. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the UE contention resolution ID is represented by a partial UE ID that consists of a portion of the first CCCH SDU and a portion of the second CCCH SDU.

11. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the UE contention resolution ID is represented by the first CCCH SDU.

12. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to: receive a Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) from the base station; wherein the MAC CE comprises a bit field configured to indicate to the UE to transmit the second part of the UE ID.
